Toby Keith - Honkytonk U lyrics

My grandmother owned a nightclub on the Arkansas-Oklahoma line Momma put me on a greyhound, and I went To stay with her in the summertime I'd box up those empty long necks and stack'em in the back and make A hand Then at night she'd let me sneak out of the kitchen and sit in with the band Yes, I have sacked some quarterbacks and broke my share of bones along the way I knew it wouldn't Last forever, semi-pro always means semi-paid I started climbin' drillin' rig, I'm oil field trash and Proud as I can be Then I took my songs and guitar and sang'em to a man from Tennessee I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena Every corn dog fair and rodeo And sold out every basketball arena I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city Too I am a red, white and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U A star can't burn forever, and the brightest ones will someday lose their shine But the gla** wont Ever be half empty in my optimistic mind I'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it up and Play it loud As long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a honkytonk crowd I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena Every corn dog fair and rodeo And sold out ever basketball arena I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city Too Son I'm a red, white, and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U That's right a red, white, and blue Blood graduate of honkytonk U
